The Greek Place — Restaurant in Maggie Valley

Having lived in a Greek community for 20 years and Greeks that married into our family, I was hesitant to go here, as I did not want to be disappointed.

The environment on the inside was a little sterile and could use some Greek decor. Therefore, it's a good thing we got our order to go. Nonetheless, my hubby enjoyed his steak gyro, salad with potato salad, and chocolate cake. However, he thought his fries were soggy and unseasoned.

My spanakopita tasted fine, but was deep fried and greasy. It should be flaky and moist, never fried. I was happy with the salad, it was fresh. The potato salad is not Greek, it's Southern, but we're in the South, so that should be a hit, so good call on the alteration for that. The bakalava was good, but back off on the honey. You want that crispy phyllo dough to shine through, but in the south they like their sweets, so it should work.

All in all, I will give this place a 4 out of 5. It's not authentic, but it still tastes good and should appeal to those from the area that would like to experience something different. We will return and try some other things. Please patron businesses in Maggie Valley post Helene, they need...

Stopped by after getting a tattoo next door and was completely blown away. I ordered the roasted lamb gyro, and it was incredible—so flavorful and tender. The lamb was cut into perfect bite-sized pieces, almost like eating a great steak. The pickled onions added a unique touch that I really loved.

My server, Madison, was fantastic—super friendly and helpful. When I asked whether I should get the grilled or shredded lamb, she gave a great recommendation, and I’m so glad I went with it.

Everything was also plated really well, reflecting what I can tell to be the more authentic Greek food vibe and I’m here for it.

The Greek fries were delicious, and the spanakopita was amazing—crispy, perfectly layered, and packed with flavor. This place is seriously underrated for how good it is. I’ll definitely be bringing my wife back soon to try a more traditional dish!

I finished typing my review and I was surprised by a cheese cake so I had to add more. This cheese cake was amazing. Like just when I thought I was done it got better....

First off the wait staff were awesome. One waitress tackled the entire restaurant efficiently, I was never left without a drink. She was friendly and fast. Food was good. It was all hot and fresh. The spanakopita was awesome. The tzatziki was delicious. The stuffed squash blossoms were a little overwhelmed by the batter and needed some sauce. The hot honey chicken is awesome. Though the potatoes on the side were not cooked through and were inedible as a result. My chicken souvlaki, the chicken was dry and unseasoned, I have never had it that way. The pita, salad, and fries it came with were great. If I had to order again it would be the spanikopita and hot honey chicken with fries. Lastly the baklava was delicious. The restaurant itself needs a little TLC, specifically the gnats. I know they are seasonal here but they...
